The pastoral letter

"One thing is certain: for the love of the earth and one another, we may not remain indifferent. We are called to face the challenges with a deep sense of urgency and hopeful attention. We are called to invite those who seek, who love, who lament and who act on prophetic and imaginative dreams, to journey with us. Come; let us build greening places and spaces for the holy and one another."
